Chapter 243 Accept him as her mate
Kyra looked at Damon, her eyes tracing the sharp lines of his face, lingering on his lips, and then meeting his intense silver eyes. His long blue hair cascaded down his shoulders, giving him an almost ethereal presence. She had seen many handsome men since arriving in the beast world, but none of them had the same effect on her as her mate’s and Damon.
Damon face, his voice, his touch—each one seemed to stir something deep inside her, making her heart beat a little faster.
Was this a sign? Should she accept him as her mate? The thought made her heart flutter. Living with him, her feelings for him had grown over time. She couldn’t deny that she liked it when he called her ’little thing.’
It made her feel special, cherished in a way that was different from the others.
But it wasn’t just about her. She already had two mates, Lucas and Vincent. She needed their approval, their acceptance, before making any decisions. It was a delicate balance, and she couldn’t afford to disrupt it.
"Damon, give me some time to think... I will accept you," Kyra said, her voice soft but resolute.
The change in Damon was immediate. A smile bloomed on his face, so pure and simple that it almost took her breath away. The fierce, brooding dragon had melted away in that instant, revealing a side of him that was almost boyish in its joy. Seeing him like this, Kyra felt a warmth spread through her chest. Maybe this was the beginning of something new, something she could embrace with time.
Before she could fully process what was happening, he took a step closer, his gaze locking onto hers with an intensity that made her breath hitch. Then, in one fluid motion, he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close.
The moment their bodies touched, Kyra felt a rush of emotions, a mixture of warmth, safety, and something deeper—something that made her feel like she was exactly where she needed to be. Damon’s arms were strong, yet his hold was gentle, as if he was afraid of breaking her. His scent surrounded her, a mix of earth and something uniquely him, and it made her feel grounded, connected to him in a way she hadn’t realized she needed.
He buried his face in her hair, inhaling deeply as if trying to memorize her scent. Kyra could feel the steady rhythm of his heartbeat against her chest, and it was strangely comforting. She hesitated for a moment, then slowly wrapped her arms around his waist, holding him just as tightly. It felt right, like a missing piece finally clicking into place.
In her mind, Kyra’s beast, Kaia, was practically bouncing with excitement. ’Finally, yes, yes! Damon is ours!’ Kaia shouted, her voice loud and full of glee. ’This is what I’ve been waiting for! Look at him, Kyra, he’s perfect! We’re perfect together!’
Kyra couldn’t help but smile at Kaia’s enthusiasm, feeling a mix of amusement and affection for her beast’s excitement. But even beyond Kaia’s happiness, Kyra herself felt something undeniable. Being in Damon’s arms, feeling the way he held her like she was the most precious thing in the world.
